It is a known fact that individuals in rehab for drug and alcohol addiction are more likely to be smokers, 75% in fact. With that being said very few facilities address the problem as a primary addiction, even though the fact that helping people stop smoking tobacco while in treatment is associated with a 25% greater chance they will stay free from substance abuse. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment programs in Jacksonville that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also offer nicotine addiction treatment.
While complete bans on smoking are not normal, more and more rehabs are beginning to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make facilities completely smoke-free environments. In doing so, they avoid the need to develop and implement facility policies that are already legally in place and enforced legally by state and local agencies. Enforcing a ban on smoking may deter potential clients who smoke starting treatment. In the meantime, it will help those who do choose a no smoking drug and alcohol addiction rehab center be better able to get sober in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
